Description

When the content contains a table as the first element (or only element), clicking at the start of the table automatically creates a <p><br></p> node at the start.

When trying to delete the resulting gap from that node, more such nodes are just added to the start.

I have verified this bug in Chrome 39 and Firefox 33.1.1.
